The Committee have been busy trying to plan a programme for 2022 (next year in case you have lost track of time too) so please keep an eye out for an email or letter arriving in the next few weeks outlining those ideas and plans. Given the ever-changing effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic these plans may be subject to change so keep following us here too.

In the meantime we are continuing to support and be a member of The Tender Shoots Garden Club Network which has done so much to provide us with a gardening-related talk every month over the last year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Note that they now have a website as well as a Facebook page.

The next talk via Tender Shoots and Zoom is on December 21st at 7.30 – grab a glass of something and a mince pie and relax from the stress of Christmas preparations while listening to Alan Edmondson talk about The Shade Garden.

We send our best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year when we hope we may once again be able to hold face-to-face meetings . . . eventually.

After Christmas perhaps you would like to get out into your gardens with a camera/phone and take a photo of whatever is in flower on New Year’s Day (or looking colourful like this frosted yew) – send photos to us for an online New Year photo festival.
